I made a wrapper script which auto detects screensize. Parameters are 1 for fullscreen, 0 for windowed h|help for help (er not much!)
EDIT: I changed the windowed mode to 400x400, better, it is now the default too.
EDIT2:fixed silly 0/1 bug, added verbose screen/window size

Runs with glmark.sh. Takes a minute or 2 but you can kill it with ESC if you get sick of it.

The binary is in /usr/local/glmark/, you can run it directly and specify window size (not tested).

Live pfix=ram.Boots directly to the correct desktop with working sound and internet on the trusty Athlon XP box.And SeaMonkey obviously works too.
I'll do a quick frugal install for further testing.....

v5.3.3.2 has been my most reliable testing vehicle until a couple of days ago when upgrading a gifted P4, all-Intel box (regular correspondents will know I normal avoid/refuse Intel gear!). This one gave black screen under all conditions including VESA, pfix,nox, etc. and CTRL-ALT-BKSPACE was also non-functional.
Otherwise, don't usually observed the other listed 'known issues'.

Mplayer is a problem, I can't get it to compile small, older versions that do compile small don't compile against the current libs, so we have either big mplayer or xine with less video support. Dilemma!

Mplayer is a problem, I can't get it to compile small, older versions that do compile small don't compile against the current libs, so we have either big mplayer or xine with less video support. Dilemma!

Anyway, here is the original Mplayer version 1.1 as small as I could get it .. 5.3M pet

Just random thoughts. Yes, there are some video formats that xine won't play--the question is--do they matter? That is, are they in use, would anyone ever encounter them in the wild? I don't know, but testers could find out.

My impression is that mplayer2 is not the next version of mplayer, rather a fork. So is there some significant advantage to mplayer2 other than the number? My impression is that the latest mplayer has been performing admirably in the latest Lucid's and Slacko. 5.3M is larger than the old days when it could share ffmpeg, but not totally unreasonable imho for admirable performance, since a good media player is important.

Related small possible savings: I have come to question whether gecko-mediaplayer is worthwhile. The only video I have actually seen it play is smokey's tutorial in mpg. But 1) that would play in gnome-mplayer outside of the browser and 2) on the web 99.99% of everything is mp4 or flv nowadays anyway.

had to use vesa (I have a radeon card) so as expected there . . .
UK £ seems to be OK so that is good
editor seems to be on overtype mode had to set to insert . . .
only got sound on gnome player . . .
mplayer only sound working on AVI files
downloaded VLC from PPM - codec not available when trying to play AVI from command line (did not appear on men)

I installed kdegames from ppm which also included qt482, kdegames
needed one extra lib (libdbusmenu-qt-0.9.2) which I found elsewhere in
ppm.
Since qt482 was installed I compiled umplayer-0.97 and it works fine,
I had also compiled mplayer 1.1 earlier.

Kdegames,umplayer,smplayer,vlc-2.0.3, are all working well in this
alpha release

I tried loading nexuiz and get the same result with the ati
driver as I do with the nvidia driver so it must be something else
causing the problem.
I use ext4 when I format my hard drive,also use ext4 when I format a
flash drive.
I save my slacko savefile as ext4 as well, but I do this on all puppy
installs and have no problems.
Do you think this could be causing the problem? I just guessing, the
screen capture shows the directory that nexuiz was launched from and
you can see nexuiz underneath it, the music is playing too, it seems
that there is a problem switching screen modes or something.

I just tried nexuiz with nvidia and just clicking the related linux.glx script failed to show an image, but if I ran the script thus sh nexuiz-linux-glx.sh it seems to work fine. Maybe it will out put some debug info, or perhaps there's a debug switch for that script?

I'll try my radeon later, I have to switch cards and do a clean install for that.
